You may think so now, but when you train with an instructor, I think you'll find that you hadn't taught yourself anything at all.

It takes 4 years, at least, to get a black belt. I am not sure how much help I can be on the TKD questions, since I don't take it. However, I know that Tae Kwon Do has powerful kicks like the flying side kick and some others. I would never join any ATA schools, as they are McDojos. If you are looking to take TKD, I would recommend choosing any other school.

2] its olympic style tkd i think would they allow me to use my self taugh boxing strikes
3] would tkd be a good pick
4] are there any hand strikes in tkd |
1. It depends on the school. I'd guess between 2 and 4 years.
2. As long as you hit their designated target area, you should be fine. Most of the time, they use punches only in competition, and they aren't usually scored much, if at all.
3. It depends on what your goals are for the Martial Arts. If you don't have anything else going on, its as good a place as any to start.
4. Yes, you'll do lots of different hand strikes in the forms and in some one-steps, but in sparring, you'll mainly see punching.

yes. From experience, you will walk out of the very first class realizing that you learned more in the first thirty minutes than you did for the past year of self training - and a few weeks later you will discover that it will take you months just to train the bad habits from that period out so that you can start to be as good as the people who had never trained who just started in the class.

The first half of what you say, I do agree with. The second half, I think comes down to the individual. Some people are pretty natural athletes, and can overcome physical miscues more easily than others.
But, overall, I do agree that instruction as opposed to individual self-training is a better rout to follow.

I do know that whenever I get two students in at the same time, the one who has not done martial arts or self-training is always the one who grasps the movements the most quickly.

I don't doubt that at all.
